"All our fees and expenses are at risk," Sellers said, referring to the Wal-Mart case.No tears here - he put them at risk in the hopes of a HUGE payoff bankrupting WalMart.

I don't hear him complaining that he has made a successful business of bankrolling expensive, massive class actions. In recent years, the 60-attorney firm with offices in New York, Washington, Philadelphia and Chicago, has won hundreds of millions of dollars against the likes of Mercedes Benz, Bristol-Myers Squibb, 3M and Christie's International.

Oh, boo F’ing Hoo. All of their fees and expenses are at risk. Who is crying for the defendant’s stock holders who were about to be destroyed?

The Court found the claims filed by as many as 1.5 million women against the retail giant were too varied to permit class certification. Yeah, the women were tall, short, young, old, heavy, thin, all sorts of skin colors... no way to see any commonality. Sorry.
Oh yeah, and Hillary used to be on the board of directors of WalMart, and China floods the country with economic warfare through WalMart, but that's irrelevent, so don't think about it.
Move along.

Their greed got ahead of procedure. All they could see were Wally World’ assets.

It appears someone forgot that WalMart is an essential part of the up and coming NWO.

I think the norm for attorney fees in a class action suit is about 25%. That’s 25% of every single class member’s share of the award, which adds up pretty fast. And, in addition to the 25% loss, each class member also gives 38% off the top to the government, leaving them with about 37% of their single award.
It’s no wonder attorneys are willing to risk 7 mil for a shot at billions, and to hell with the real plaintiffs.
